A heavy, rough-edged display face with chunky, uneven strokes and visibly distressed contours. Counters and joins show irregular bite marks and blotchy fill, creating an ink-worn silhouette that reads like degraded print or heavily textured lettering. Proportions are slightly inconsistent from glyph to glyph, with softly rounded corners in some forms and abrupt, chipped terminals in others, producing a lively, imperfect rhythm at both uppercase and lowercase sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, titles, album artwork, and branding moments that benefit from a rugged, tactile texture. It can also work for packaging or labels where a handmade or weathered print aesthetic is desired, while longer passages are better reserved for larger sizes due to the heavy distressing.
The font projects a gritty, handmade energy with a worn, analog feel. Its distressed texture suggests age, friction, and physical materials—closer to battered posters and rough stamping than clean digital type. The overall tone is assertive and atmospheric, leaning toward moody, underground, and craft-forward styling.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing display presence while simulating worn ink and imperfect production. The controlled irregularities and textured edges appear intentional, aiming to add instant character and a sense of physical print history to contemporary layouts.
Texture is substantial enough to become part of the letterforms, especially in smaller counters and tight joins, so spacing and contrast can appear to fluctuate across words. Numerals and capitals share the same battered edge treatment, keeping a consistent, poster-like voice across mixed text. The strongest impact comes at larger sizes where the distressed detail remains legible.
